"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair." A Tale Of Two Cities tells the story of a French doctor's 18 year imprisonment in the Bastille and today we borrow it's famous opening lines as Dickens so accurately and accidentally provides the perfect assessment of the current federal student loan landscape for American doctors facing what can feel like the 10 year imprisonment of Public Student Loan Forgiveness. Certified Student Loan Professionals Tyler Scott and Andrew Paulson take a look at the current landscape to provide insights and considerations for those worried about the status of the SAVE plan, the upcoming election, and the myriad variables that underlie navigating federal student loans in the fall of 2024.

This hospitalist paid off $380,000 of student loans in only 3 years! She had a goal and a plan from the moment she completed training.

She also took advantage of the student loan freeze and saved roughly $40K a year in interest by continuing to pay down the debt during that time.

We have an incredible and inspirational couple on today. These two cash flowed both his medical school and residency as well as her Doctorate of Nurse Practitioning. They were committed to doing whatever it took to get through training debt free. They bred dogs, lived rent free in exchange for renovating whatever home they were in, ate from their garden, worked as many shifts as possible and more. These two leaned on each other for support as they accomplished their goal. Now fresh out of training they already have a net worth of $1 million.

This episode we interview prominent Boglehead published author Rick Van Ness. Rick has made a career of teaching financial literacy to the world. We review his ten principles for common sense investing as well as hear why Rick thinks bonds are worth investing in. He talks about his current passion, which we here at WCI understand, getting a financial plan in place. We discuss the importance of knowing what you value and making a plan that accounts for that. Getting quality disability and life insurance should be the first financial chore for a doctor to complete. Most docs don't have the ideal policy for their gender, specialty, state, or health status and 1 in 7 doctors get disabled at some point during their career. Because these policies can only be purchased through brokers, we have put together a list of vetted agents who are experienced with working with the specific needs of medical professionals and who have your best interest at heart. If you have questions about insurance and what kind of policies would be the best fit for you, check out our insurance recommended list at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/insurance and feel the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the optimal policy in place.

Today we are talking with a pediatric dentist who hit a net worth of $6 million dollars! He is barely over a decade out of training. He started out in general dentistry and realized pretty quickly he wanted to specialize to increase his earning potential and enhance his lifestyle. He is a supersaver who is working on increasing his spending. His advice to you is to start educating yourself now on basic financial knowledge and to get in the habit of living on less than you earn. After the interview we will talk about expense ratios for Finance 101. I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager.

Today our podcast producer Megan is stepping in as host and is joined by longtime friend of WCI, SC Gutierrez. They are talking about why women are generally less involved in finances than men and what can be done about it. They discuss different ideas around how to get your partner more involved, regardless of their gender, in setting financial goals. They talk about the impact of the way we are raised, the importance of intention and delegation and so much more.

Today we are talking with an ER doc who hit a $2 million net worth. He talks about the importance of him and his wife getting on the same page early and getting to work growing their net worth and getting rid of debt. His advice to you is consider geographic arbitrage, increase your savings every year and take advantage of loan forgiveness programs. Stick around after the interview for a discussion about HSAs for Finance 101. At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who's just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you're further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you.

Our guest in this episode is Dr. Karsten. He's the mind behind the Early Retirement Now blog. He completed a PhD in economics, worked for the Federal Reserve for a while and taught economics. He joined the research department of an investment manager and got a CFA designation. He spent 10 years there before punching out to live the FIRE lifestyle a few years ago. He spent the first few months out on a world tour, visiting 20 plus countries, then settled down in the Northwest with his family. Early Retirement Now is a popular FI blog primarily because of Karsten's rigorous academic approach. We explore health insurance and withdrawal rates and strategies for early retirees and get his take on some controversial areas of finance like options and leverage. Interested in retiring early?

This emergency doc paid off over $455,000 in less than one year! That huge number was a combination of undergrad and med school loans as well as some loans from his wife's education. They were on the same page from the beginning and agreed to set the goal of paying everything off within one year of completing training. They poured every dollar they could into their debt and even paid off two car loans in the process. He talks about the power of focus when you have a solid goal. Once that goal was set they did what it took to get it done. After the episode we will be taking about stock indexes for Finance 101.

Today we are talking with a pediatrician who paid off $330,000 in 7 years. He talked about being mentally prepared for this to take a very long time. He refinanced his loans in 2019 and was making payments and trying to throw extra cash at them when he could. But when he sold his first house and moved to a new home he made enough on that sale that he was able to pay the rest of those loans off in one whack. He is loving the freedom of being done with the payments. He shares the great advice to celebrate not only the big milestones but the small ones too like when you get the chance to put an extra few thousand dollars towards your loans.

This Orthopedist has grown his wealth to $3 million only 3 years out of training. He tackled his student loans quickly and started saving and investing aggressively. As we talk about regularly, a big income is super helpful but it doesn't get you anywhere if you aren't financially literate. He and his wife got on the same page early and put their high incomes to work. Getting their financial ducks in a row is going to give them both the freedom to work fewer hours and create a balanced work and family life.

Today Dr. Dahle talks with Michael Kitces, creator of the popular blog Nerds Eye View. He is a CFP (along with many other designations) who has a passion for educating. His platform is huge and he knows more about financial planning and the financial planning industry than just about anyone out there. Today they tackle a range of topics with the higher level focus on the state of the financial planning industry. Michael shares valuable insight on how to find a trust worthy advisor, why he thinks there are so many fewer women working in the financial advising industry, if therapy training should be required for financial advisors and if the good guys in the industry are winning in the court of public opinion. We know you will love those topics and so many others from todays conversation. If you're like most doctors, nobody taught you anything about personal finance or investing during your undergrad, professional school, or residency. And even though your family - and perhaps even your business - rely on you to be the Chief Financial Officer, you have never been given the tools to succeed. Enroll in WCI Financial Boot Camp, a FREE educational email series, and learn to convert your high income to wealth. You will learn the basics of investing, saving, insurance, and more. Your high income alone will not lead to financial success, but as always, we want to help you on your financial journey. Go to https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financialbootcamp to sign up today!

This pharmacist tackled his student debt with extreme focus and paid off over $170,000 in only 2 years! He said he and his wife had the goal to get rid of the debt quickly and discussed it in depth before they got married. The student loan pause was a huge motivator to keep plowing as much money as possible towards the loans while they were not accruing interest. This couple is inspiring and shows what you can accomplish with a solid plan and some motivation! After the interview we will be talking about Mega Backdoor Roth IRA for Finance 101.

Today we are talking with Marita Mccahill of PracticeGro. Marita shares her expertise around the importance of learning how to market yourself online as a doc, as well as how to market your practice. We discuss the impact of online reviews, changing jobs, and growing your practice. Whether you own your own practice or are a W2 or 1099 employee, there is something for everyone to learn on this one. At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who's just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you're further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you.

Dental Specialist has paid off just over $489,000 in student loans just two years out of training! He took the Fire Your Financial Advisor course and created a written financial plan before he finished training. The first six months out of training he focused on paying off his car, credit card debt and and a loan from family. Then he aggressively went after his loans and was paying over $20,000 a month to get rid of those loans! He said he was worried about taking on so much debt but feels like it was very worth it because he loves what he does. Stick around after the episode for a discussion on the truth about investing. I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price.

Those questions and more in this episode! Getting quality disability and life insurance should be the first financial chore for a doctor to complete.

When she got out of residency she was $600,000 in debt. 5 years later she has received PSLF, reached a net worth of $500,000 and paid off $120,000 in student loans.

Today on the podcast we are talking with Kyle Claussen from Resolve. He chats with Dr. Dahle about the importance of really advocating for yourself and your pay when starting a new job and signing a new contract. It is critical to negotiate until you feel confident and happy with any contract you sign. Many doctors are not paid what they are worth because they do not advocate for themselves. They discuss how helpful it can be to hire a professional to navigate that process. They also discuss non compete contracts and what the future might hold when those are no longer legal. If you're like most doctors, nobody taught you anything about personal finance or investing during your undergrad, professional school, or residency. And even though your family - and perhaps even your business - rely on you to be the Chief Financial Officer, you have never been given the tools to succeed.

Today we are talking with an ENT who has paid off $300,000 of student loans. This is a doc who was comfortable paying the loans off over time while he continued to save and invest and build wealth along the way. He and his wife put a lot of money toward their top priority, which was starting a family. Fertility treatments were expensive and came before paying off the loans.

This pharmacist has paid off $286,000 of student loans with just over $200,000 of that in the last 15 months. How did he do it? He basically doubled his income by getting a higher paying job and working a side gig in retail pharmacy on the weekends. He said getting that debt off his shoulders has felt incredible and he is loving not having to work as much at his side gig. He is now focused on building his wealth and his real estate empire.

Today we answer your questions about rolling over an HSA, when to withdraw from your HSA, whether a UTMA or Custodial Roth IRA is better for your kids, if it is a good idea to open a solo 401(k) for your kids, how to maximize your 403(b) contributions and how to mimic the US Stock Market index fund if your 403(b) doesn't offer that. At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who's just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you're further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you.
